- amingilaniWhat prompted this and why does it not?

- > it is clear that Kohler is one end of the communication
That’s not end-to-end encryption. By that logic HN, and any other website over HTTPS is E2E encrypted.
- Why doesn’t wasm count?
- Unlikely since the most ISM bands are UHF (EU is 868 MHz) and skywave propagation (what you’re referring to) is characteristic of HF radiation (3-30MHz). VHF/UHF radiation passes through the ionosphere instead of refracting.
- The what incident? Can you elaborate?
Edit: Here’s the incident-https://www.theregister.com/2015/05/27/text_message_unicode_...
- There are plenty of instruments in there. I did a quick and dirty encoding of the first bar of “City of Star” with the piano when I first discovered it.
note("G2@2 A#2 D@2 G@2 ~ G F@2 D@1.5") .sound("piano")
- > it's not at all well suited to a containerised environment
Could you elaborate?
- > they occur instead because of inadequate immigration
How did they make that assertion?
In the body of the paper immigration policies were not included as a variable in the data, nor were they a part of the statistical analyses. I couldn't find anything regarding labor movement at all. It feels weird that it was just thrown there in the end.
- Instead of picking a target UUID and evaluating new UUIDs against it, a better experiment would be finding duplicates in all the UUIDs you have generated.
This plays nicely with the birthday paradox.
- > if you have trouble remembering how a knight moves, you can't be that good at Chess anyway.
Non sequitur.
It’s also still a valid question. I play the scales really well on the guitar. And because the frets are all laid out straight, shifting up by one fret means I’m just playing my chords and scales sharp. It makes transposing music incredibly easy.
I still don’t understand why the piano can’t be laid out like that.
- https://clares.ca
Recently relaunched Clares.ca, a free website for Canadian amateur radio training.
The new site has modern basics: Fast and mobile friendly and will soon incorporate the latest updates to the Canadian test bank.
Additionally, I’m adding progress tracking, logins and notifications to keep users engaged. The previous version of the site was just the course and nothing else. This one is more usable.

- Ketamine implies Musk which implies DOGE.
It’s a play on the rumours that Musk abuses his ketamine prescription. Note that I’m not advocating for the rumours. Merely explaining.
- Wait, really? Could you share some examples? Why would they break for a FQDN. Wouldn’t that mean that the root servers aren’t configured correctly for that TLD?
- Why is everyone is so critical of using information from a previous model to make a more efficient model. There’s nothing wrong with making progress using prior work. And increasing efficiency is progress.
You wouldn’t criticize someone’s kombucha because they didn’t piece their SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) together microbe by microbe.
- This articles that distills a report which doesn't bring anything new to the table. I can't load their site right now, but in their release I recall they explicitly excluded experimentation and R&D costs. And have $1.6b worth of hardware is not the same as spending $1.6b on costs to build the model.
The article says:
> despite the company's claims that DeepSeek only cost $6 million and 2,048 GPUs to train. However, industry analyst firm SemiAnalysis reports that the company behind DeepSeek incurred $1.6 billion in hardware costs and has a fleet of 50,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs, a finding that undermines the idea that DeepSeek reinvented AI training and inference with dramatically lower investments than the leaders of the AI industry.
The underlying report states:
> The $6M cost in the paper is attributed to just the GPU cost of the pre-training run, which is only a portion of the total cost of the model. Excluded are important pieces of the puzzle like R&D and TCO of the hardware itself. > > https://semianalysis.com/2025/01/31/deepseek-debates/
But we already know this. The DeepSeek paper even gives a breakdown:
> Pre-Training: 2664K > Context Extension: $0.238M > Post-Training: $0.01M > Total: $5.576M > > https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.19437v1
- Could we get some images or a link to an example kudos you gave someone?
- > 45 000 deaths is genocide ?
I’m confused by this question, is 45,000 too little for you? To label genocide you need a large number of of deaths with the intent of destroying a people’s identity.
> What’s the civilian/military ratio ?
If you’re able to find this number, you’re likely able to find that depending on whom you ask the percentage of militants ranges from 10-40%.
And this says nothing about the millions displaced, the destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure and the policies to starve the population. Given the vast amount of attention given to this topic and the information around it, you need to be make a conscious effort to stay ignorant of it. And to be wilfully ignorant of a genocide is to be complicit in it.
I suggest starting here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide
